bart and two unions agreed to extend their old contract for 30 more days. they now have until august 4 to reach an agreement. contract talks resume monday. the agreement was reached last night. kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran has details from san francisco. cate. >> reporter: this is going to be great news for people who are working today because it means they will have bart to take home this afternoon. it also means the trains behind me will be up and running. we know that negotiations wrapped up around 11:00 last night. they decided to extend the old contract for 30 days as you mentioned while the two sides work on a new one. it was a proposal from the california labor secretary. but keep in mind, the unions say the battle is far from over. they say that bart needs to understand this is a 30-day deadline to get it right.

>> bart bullied us, their riding public and they have mercenaries in here trying to bust up the union. there's not acceptable. >> reporter: there's nothing to say they can't come to the end of the 30-day period and call for another strike. we are talking about the unions. but these 30 days will give both sides the chance to talk and also alleviate some of that pressure and just to let you know we still do not know the details about the negotiations. there is a reminder that there is a gag order in place on both sides but at least again as we say, these 30 days will give both sides to really hash out the details and also keep commuters happy. live in millbrae, cate caugiran, kpix 5. >> bart and the two unions are apparently still quite far apart on those issues. one union worker says this is the worst he has seen two of the major points of contention include pay and safety. stay with kpix 5 for continuing coverage of the strike which is again going to end at 3:00 this afternoon. in the meantime, find our strike survival guide with

of the president. it didn't start by the actions of the army. it was the people. >> president obama also reluctant to call the change a coup. that is because it is against united states law to give foreign aid to countries where the military overthrows an elected government. >> whatever it's called, egypt is a mess this morning. kpix 5's don knapp on the bay area exchange students to were evacuated from egypt. >> reporter: parents spent the final hours of a long day waiting for the safe arrival of their kids. >> we have been hearing that the situation has been degrading. reporter: but their 20-year- old daughter says she wasn't worried. >> uc was worried about us and shot us out of there fast. but i didn't -- i felt pretty safe. i have -- like i loved the people we were with. >> reporter: 10 students were evacuated from an island in the nile. lisa told her son by facebook that he was going to be evacuated.

their summer adventure in egypt ended way too soon. at san francisco international airport, don knapp, kpix 5. crews on the front lines of a wildfire in arizona are starting to gain the upper hand. officials say the yarnell fire is now 80% contained. the residents of the town of peeples valley returned home thursday but the residents of yarnell are evacuated. as you know, the fire claimed the lives of 19 firefighters battling the blaze and destroyed more than 100 homes and elderly woman grateful after a san francisco officer saved her from an apartment fire. the officer was responding to a different call in japantown when somebody flagged him down. firefighters say he went into the burning building and rescued the women but suffered heat exhaustion in the process. both will be okay. some of the biggest fireworks shows we saw last night were these illegal kind and they packed a punch. kpix 5 crew hit the streets of an area called deep east oakland where the fireworks display rivalled ones put on by

professionals. people took to the streets igniting fireworks that went hundreds of feet into the air. some of the most popular ones are called coliseum fireworks because of their size. despite the fact that all fireworks are illegal in oakland, people say they they break the law for the kids. >> i think it all depends what kind of fireworks you're popping. if you are going to get explosives, like the m-1000, a little fireworks show for the kids it will be fine. >> from what we saw kids were kept on the sidewalks away from the fireworks. 15 bay area cities including san bruno, petaluma, union city, do allow safe and sane fireworks because they stay on the ground. on holidays like the 4th, fireworks and celebratory gunfire are common. both are loud, raucous explosions. so how do you tell the difference between the two? well, several bay area police departments have enlisted the help of a newark-based service called shotspotter that detects

gun related incidents in realtime. it can even determine if there are shell casings or other forensic evidence at the scene. >> it's the next generation 911 call that has a lot of content associated with it reliable, fast and precise. we're calling 100% of the time effectively very quickly within 30 to 45 seconds with a high degree of precision. >> the company says nearly 20% of all gunfire in the bay area happens on the 4th of july and 75 gunshots fired per square mile on this day. the guys in charge of protecting millions of visitors to america's monuments believe that every year apparently lost track of thousands of weapons. rifles, machine guns, handguns, you name it the interior department says that park police had some pretty sloppy recordkeeping. fortunately there's no evidence that criminals got hold of the weapons. >> all the weapons are accounted for. every weapon, every stick of

ammo, everything is accounted for. but it's not accounted for in the national park service weapons inventory computer system. it is accounted for internally. >> the national park service oversees the park police. they did not respond to that assertion but the parks service director has ordered immediate action to tighten up firearms records. in other news, oakland city workers and leaders are expected back at the bargaining table today. more than 3500 employees walked off their jobs for a one-day strike on monday. labor unions say workers have been bearing the burden of oakland's budget problems for far too long. they also say city leaders are refusing to give them important financial info that would help them with the bargaining. looks like bay area home buyers are taking a step back. the soaring prices of recent months are easing off and interest rates are on the rise. one realtor tells the "mercury news" it is a little combing of the bubble. new listings have been increasing since march but buyers aren't anxious to offer more than the asking price as
